Government and Private Telecom Operators filed/to file review petition on Supreme Court’s Order cancelling 122 licenses


As per the report of The Hindu Business Line dated 29-2-2012, the Government will file a review petition in the Supreme Court challenging its ruling that auction is the only fair method for allocating natural resources and also questioning the ruling of the Supreme Court against the First Come First Serve principle followed in allotting spectrum. In short the Government is questioning the reason of the Supreme Court for cancelling the 122 licenses!This decision of the Government pleases the private telecom operators who acquired the spectrum at dead cheap rates. The contention of the Government is that the policy making is the jurisdiction of the Government and hence the Supreme Court should not question what ever the policy made by the Government , even if it results in looting of our natural resources by the Indian and foreign big capitalists.
Thus it is clear that the Government wants the continuation of system of allotting the valuable natural resources like minerals, ores, spectrum etc  to the capitalists chosen by it at a throw away price. This is nothing but the Government itself aiding and abetting the looting of our natural resources by the Indian and Foreign big capitalists. Tata Teleservices Limited has already filed a review petition in the Supreme Court against the inclusion of 3 of its licenses( for 3 circles) for the 2G spectrum among the 122 licenses to be cancelled.
The Russian Company Systema JSFC, which is the partner in the telecom company Systema Shyam(MTS) whose 21 licenses(for 21 circles) of 2G were cancelled by the Supreme Court order, issued a notice to the Government of India stating that such cancellation of license is against the obligations of the Government of India under the Bilateral Investment Treaty(BIT) between India and Russia. It threatened to to commence the proceedings against the Government of India under the Conciliation Rules of the UN Commission On International Trade Law, in case the dispute is not settled within 6 months. The DoT is consulting the law ministry regarding this notice issued by Systema.  Sistema Syam(MTS) also plans to file a review petition in the Supreme Court against its judgment.
Other telecom operatorslike Uninor, Lop etc whose licenses are cancelled, may also resort to filing the review petition.
The Indian and Foreign big capitalists looting our natural resources  and the Government aiding it, will fight tooth and nail against this judgment of the Supreme Court since it curtails this  looting. Let us hope that their efforts will become futile and they will get no order from the Supreme Court in their favour.
